I am usually watching your videos on my lunch break and they make me want to just go play immediately instead of finishing work, as I feel pure gold of the new knowledge. Thank you for helping so many of us improve!
Really liked this episode. I train MMA and I like to parallel "fight aggression" with your (lose and splashy technique). Some people in porker(or fighters) use aggression wildly, in an amateur battle they can often win, do to lack of opponents experience/knowledge . But against a pro, this is fatal, what you want is well timed/strategized aggression. In a fight against an Aggro monster simple footwork will make them look silly, within a minute, they're so exhausted from muscle punching they can barely breath...perfect time to activate your aggression! Poker is similar...strategically weaving through junk hands and hitting the top range against a bluff aggro monster is sublime, but also, a well timed 45s preflop bluff can turn into an AA killer.
First time i have seen James for a while, he was about to start school, thats going back a few haircuts now, quite timely as I had asked after him the other day during a Live I caught, it was 2 am NZ time so I dont catch Lives as much as i would find optimal. Thanks for all the pro bono content you do for the people Jon.
I love this video in particular! I have a hard time in these situations at times....then, at other times, I am every difficult player. I will play tight and not bluff, lose a hand or two....then I will start to bluff. I like to tell people that they made hero folds (doesn't matter if they did or didnt) and see the reaction. I want to see if they struggle with folding mediocre hands or if they are a skilled player who knew my hand and saved money by folding.... .....I'm never sure why I post my playing style, since I'm not a pro and I play money free games simply because I can't afford to actually play....so, it's like me giving advice on how to race Formula 1..... I don't have access to most Formula 1 races, just clips on UA-cam, yet I still feel the need to explain my personal opinion on the subject. 🤦♂️
Very nice video! I like the GTO stuff, and I like the idea of adjusting away from it to exploit , like whatever you can exploit. Regarding the Find a game you can beat , Play it a lot, Keep a proper bankroll- I got 1 and 3 , but play a lot is problematic. The reason is I grow my stack sometimes too quick, and then afraid to play deep stacked. So I end up cashing out at the expense of playing more. Dont know if I am leaving a lot of EV by not playing longer
On GG 2nl I run into a few of players with a pretty high 3 bet percentage (think 20%+) while most players are down in the 2-5% range. Would it be viable to 4-bet bluff hands like suited Aces or Broadways like KQ and KJ mainly (which block their value range) more often? I usually don't run many 4 bet preflop bluffs since most players 3 bet a tight range which is not all that much wider than a 5 bet shove range (QQ+, AK seems to be about average for 5 bet shove, where 3 bet adds in AQ, AJ and JJ with some TT). Also, what would a good 3 bet-percentage be overall? I seem to be around 7% but I feel like I might be under-bluffing slightly especially in Btn/CO and BB/SB vs Btn situations.
Thanks for the video. I'm new to GTO studies. If I understand game strategy correctly, a tight aggressive player earns the respect of the opponents and that allows him or her to win more pots and pull off more bluffs. That's great. But when does a player like that cross the line into becoming a nit (someone who no one will bet into because the nit only bets when he or she has the nuts)? If you wait for the good cards, you want them to pay off. I know your other videos say don't feed the nit. Is the TAG supposed to turn his cards up once in awhile to show the other players he was bluffing or semi-bluffing? In other words, not afraid to give action to get action? Sorry if that's too many questions. I'm still learning.
No problem. If you use a tight, aggressive strategy, still finding SOME bluffs, it's very likely that your image will still be good enough to get you paid off when you have big hands!
Hi Jonathan. Sometimes in NLH live cash games, when we have a good hand and we 3-bet pre flop, most of the other players also call our bet instead of folding. In such case, instead of 3-betting, should we 6-bet to make most of them fold their hands and then have heads up with only 1 player for post flop action?
I think you mean 3-bet to a larger size. Using large 3-bet sizes can work quite well too against people who have no intention of folding to your 3-bet.
So, final table with 8 players left. I'm utg+1 against BB, I raise 3 bigs pre flop, folds to the BB and they call. Flop is 10 10 3, 2 spades. I have K10o and BB bets 1 big. I shove all in with 20 bigs. BB calls. Turns over jack8 spades. Turn is a 7. River is a 9.
Hey johnathan, so I sat at my first time since studying your methods and I felt I did alright. However, I know I’m some of your videos you say were in it for the long game. The longer you play the more you’ll make. Well I had an older gentleman sitting next to me tell me the opposite and kinda made me nervous. He knew I was new to the game. I mean no one like losing but do you have a video about poke mind set or any advice that you could give to new poker players when they here something like this?

You're welcome.
1:44 you the man !
Call with JJ on that board is biggest mistake ever.. turn card club - action stops, now he actually can fold AA-QQ on all in
Thank 4 your teaching, it’s great! Danie from South Africa
So glad you like it, Danie!
That guy in the chat at 5:50 LMAO
"We should fold and inform him that hes a weak player and that we are doing him a favor"
Awesome learning content, Jonathan! Greatly helped my game and my love life.

You a real one for this. Thanks for all the poker knowledge!
My pleasure!
I love this game,and you are going to turn me into a 🦈, Tks coach.
JJ on J65cc... shouldn't we raise because a club on the turn might prevent opponent from gong broke with AA/KK/QQ?
Thanks Jon! Great coaching advice’
No problem, good luck at the tables!
12:00 What is villain's best line?
He really can't get away with less than one bet per street, can he?
One bet or call per street that is
Thank you for the great content!
Ur awesome Johnathan, I love ur energy. Ty
Thank you for sharing this. Helps a ton. Tnx so much 🤟
19:17 I'm not sure if I understand, why would you call a KQs but 3-Bet a QJo?
K-Qs is good enough to see a flop. Q-Jo is not.
@@PokerCoaching ah, makes it clear haha, thanks
Good one. Thanks!

Yeah, I would spend time learning to play deep-stacked! The deeper the stack, the bigger the edges!
Just binked a 1700 runner mtt. Thank you JL for all the content. ❤❤❤ im a much better player thanks to you 😁😁👍
Congrats, that's awesome!!
Great video thx for all the help keep up the great work and thumbs up

It depends on the exact structure, but I think going from 7% to 10% is likely great.
great video. This helps me a lot!
great content thx

i watch your videos carefully and i have a feeling of understand what you say. However i forgot everything when i sit to play :(

Search my channel for mindset/tilt/etc and you will find something.
His kid folded the pre flop kiss at the beginning of the video 😂
Legend.
Thank you for day one! It’s widened my knowledge! Also, the app is an absolute gem.
